Outcome: Photo: Collins) A chronic gambler who stole over €832,000 from clients while he worked in Dublin as a Canada Life agent has been jailed for four and a half years. Judge Nolan noted that "gambling is a pernicious activity and has brought down many a good man and woman." He accepted Reilly was unlikely to come before the courts again, but said he had to sentence on the "pattern of misbehaviour over a prolonged period of time".
